Hattusa was destroyed and burned about 1700 BC. The king who razed the city then cursed it, saying,
"Whoever after me becomes king resettles Hattusas, let the Stormgod of the Sky strike him!"
And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
